Notes
'Alba plena' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Alba plena') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The white blooms carry light pink, crimson, or purple flares. They are fragrant, so they make a good cut flower. Louis Noisette introduced it in circa 1833.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Elegans hosta, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
